Marc Marquez says he no longer pursues Valentino Rossi's title record

Marc Marquez, who is now equal with Valentino Rossi at seven premier‑class MotoGP titles, announced that chasing an additional championship no longer motivates him. After a serious crash at Le Mans and a challenging comeback that culminated in a win at Motegi, he said another title "won't change my life" and that he now wants to enjoy the remaining years of his career.

Marquez also noted that his recent contract extension with Ducati reflects a shift toward preserving his health rather than pursuing further records. He described his career achievements as an honor and a gift, and emphasized that his focus is now on riding for the love of the sport instead of adding to his trophy count.
